What are you working on?

"Controlled randomization" features for the next Transloquake demo.

Nice! Another demo coming...

"Controlled randomization" features for the next Transloquake demo.

I've been collaborating with friends making a deathmatch map for fun and practice in TrenchBroom 2 Alpha. Simple enough map, but definitely fun mapping. Majority of the brush work done by SpecialBomb and I've added a few _surface lights, fixes and trap changes playing with different ideas.





A short video of the reactor coolant trap working as it is now.

@xaGe: I like "V shape" opening a lot! Very sexy! Also lighting seems well balanced. Water on the ground it's very cool too.

@CocoT: I could be very interested in your work if it can be randomized in realtime. Can you tell us more?
PS: <<Personal note>> Did you PM'd me? Because your message has been deleted before I could read it. Re-PM me!

Thank you kindly. The "V" was all me! I thought it would be great if you could see who actived the trap or have the satisfaction of watching the victim die. Map looks pretty much the same in darkplaces or quakespasm minus the pretty water.

@CocoT I also got a Pm from you that you deleted.. Strange. ^_^ Let me know if you needed something.

custom roughness and better specular maps (Oren-Nayar diffuse + GGX specular)

@xage : Yes! Couple of code changes, a couple of maps. I can't wait to see your stuff, too!

@toneddu2000 : I called it "controlled" because it is basically a way to move things around the map a little without a lot of coding involved. Mappers can enter information about the extend to which they want things (like platforms) to be randomly placed within a range (x,y,z), or use different ways to limit the amount of platforms... etc. Still working on it, but the results are kind of cool and definitely make maps that use it feel fresh and more challenging

Loving the latest screenshot!

@Barnes: love new speculars! It's just a texture work or engine supports new specular lighting?
@CocoT: what a majestic entrance! I'd add a portal under the skeleton(like arch or something). Death window texture made by you? If so, great job! Very artistic!

The death horseman texture is from Hexen II IIRC.

Its new lighting model - Oren-Nayar with GGX Specular

Its new lighting model - Oren-Nayar with GGX Specular

Wow! As far as I remember, Oren-Nayar well suited for materials like fabric, so you should put like a carpet (with changing material, like velvet) and see if it's cool. I think it would be very cool!
Compliments Barnes! I love yours and hogsy's work on your respective engines! Maybe your problem (I think I already said that once) is that you should use contemporary assets (high poly scenes, modern textures, modern glsl shaders, etc.) to show real power of your engine! Keep up te great work!
